AFCONA 3772 is an acrylic modified fluorocarbon. It contains some carboxylic acid groups, which increase the polarity of the polymer to give good compatibility with most common resins used in coating.
- Gives no in can haziness
- Provides anti-flooding and floating
- Improves leveling
- Prevents craters and orange-peel
- Helps substrate wetting
Like AFCONA 3730, AFCONA 3772 also have very good compatibility with most resin system. However, AFCONA 3730 is much better in leveling and AFCONA 3772 is better in anti-crater and substrate wetting. In clear coating, to obtain all the performances mentioned, we recommended to combine these 2 additives together. For pigmented, matted and primer, we have other products like AFCONA - 3670, AFCONA 3770 and etc. that can fulfill all requirements.

- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Application Details
- Addition and Dosage
- 0.3 – 2.0% on total formulation. In general, under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.3 – 0.7% based on total formulation.
- Incorporation
- AFCONA-3772 should be added at the end of the batch preparation.
For use in aqueous coatings, AFCONA 3772 must be neutralized with a suitable amine. Complete water solubility will be obtained by addition of 9% triethylamine or 12% ammonia solution (25% concentration).
